BAL AF Max

Rubber-crumb adhesive that performs as an uncoupling and fixing system in one.

Overview
Technical Data
  • A unique rubber-crumb, high-yield tile adhesive that performs as an uncoupling and fixing system in one – removing the need for uncoupling mats on problematic floors. BAL AF Max has anti-fracture technology that absorbs lateral stress movement from the floor protecting tiles from failures. With BAL AF Max get up to 8.5m2 per bag, meaning only 4 bags are needed for a 30m2 area.

    BAL AF Max is a game-changing innovation – saving you time, money and materials compared with a traditional uncoupling system. 40% lower cost, 70% time saving and 70% less materials compared with alternate fixed uncoupling mat system and required adhesive. Use over most substrates plus asphalt, bitumen, plywood overlays and steel.
